Sleeper Trivia Quiz

Answer: tinfoil

He was wrapped in tinfoil or aluminum foil. Miles had been admitted to St. Vincent's Hospital for a routine exploration of a peptic ulcer. Complications set in and he was admitted for cryogenic immersion by his cousin. The scientists removed him from his capsule and delicately removed the tinfoil covering. It was also funny to see that he had been frozen with his glasses on.

Answer: clarinet

Miles was a clarinet player for the Ragtime Rascals. Woody Allen does play the clarinet in real life and played with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band for the soundtrack of this film.

Answer: health food restaurant owner

The scientists who revived Miles received all of their information from a data card enclosed in the capsule. It said he was part owner of the Happy Carrot Health Food Restaurant. As you come to find out later in the film, the concept of health food changed somewhat in the future.

Answer: wheat germ, organic honey and tiger's milk

Miles requested wheat germ, organic honey and tiger's milk as those were the types of food that were supposed to contain life-preserving properties. One of the scientists said "You mean there was no deep fat, steak, cream pies or fudge?" The other scientist remarked "Those were thought to be unhealthy, precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true." Also, future scientists believed that tobacco was one of the healthiest things for your body.

Answer: Nixon

The clip showed the resignation speech of Richard Nixon. The scientist speculated that he must have once been a president of the United States but that he did something horrendous and all records were wiped out about him. Miles confirmed that he was, in fact, a president but that whenever he left the White House, they would count the silverware.

Answer: Howard Cosell

They were watching a clip of Howard Cosell talking about Muhammad Ali. The scientist surmised that when citizens of the 20th century were found guilty of committing a crime against the state, they were forced to watch Howard Cosell. Miles said "Yes, that's exactly what that was."

Answer: The Aries Project

Miles was the perfect candidate for gaining access to the administration since he had emerged into this future society without an electronic identity. Everyone else had been cataloged, fingerprinted, photographed, voice-printed and computerized. Miles was not amenable to the idea, particularly since it might involve torture.

He said that he was not the heroic type and that he was once beaten up by Quakers.

Answer: Volkswagen

Administration security was on to Miles. Miles escaped disguised as a robot in the back of a Domesticon van. He was delivered to the home of Luna Schlosser (Diane Keaton) where he posed as a domestic servant. Luna tried to turn Miles into the police but the plan backfired. Luna had been corrupted by having spent too much time with (the alien) Miles.

They escaped together and found a 200-year-old Volkswagen in a cave. Remarkably, it started the first time. Miles said "They really built these things, didn't they?"

Answer: a plan to clone the leader from his nose

The future society's leader had been killed by a bomb planted by the underground and the only part of him left was his nose. The plan was to clone the leader from his nose. On "Aries Day" the most prominent scientists and doctors assembled for the operation for the purpose of cloning their leader.

Answer: No

Miles and Luna disguised themselves as doctors, posed as surgeons to perform the cloning and escaped from the operating room with the nose. After being chased by security and medical staff, Miles managed to throw the nose under a steamroller. It was flattened along with the Aries Project.
